About this audiobook
"Je vous offre la traduction d'un livre d'un ancien sage qui, ayant le bonheur de n'avoir rien à faire, eut celui de s'amuser à écrire l'histoire de Zadig, ouvrage qui dit plus qu'il ne semble dire. Je vous prie de le lire et d'en juger ; car, quoique vous soyez dans le printemps de votre vie, quoique tous les plaisirs vous cherchent, quoique vous soyez belle, et que vos talents ajoutent à votre beauté ; quoiqu'on vous loue du soir au matin, et que par toutes ces raisons vous soyez en droit de n'avoir pas le sens commun, cependant vous avez l'esprit très sage et le goût très fin, et je vous ai entendue raisonner mieux que de vieux derviches à longue barbe et à bonnet pointu."
(Voltaire)
Voltaire
Born in Paris in 1694, François-Marie Arouet, who would later go by the nom-de-plume Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment philosopher, poet, historian, and author. Voltaire’s writing was often controversial, and in 1715 he was sent into his first exile in Tulle after a writing a satirical piece about the Duke of Orleans, the Regent of France. It was during this time that he produced his first major work, the play Oedipus. Although allowed to return to Paris a year later, Voltaire’s writing continued to land him in trouble. He was jailed in the Bastille two more times and was exiled from Paris for a good portion of his life. Throughout these troubles, Voltaire continued to write, producing works of poetry, a number of plays, and some historical and political texts. His most famous work is the satirical novel Candide, and many of his plays, including Oedipus and Socrates, are still performed today. Voltaire died in 1778.
